The English contingent fighting in Spain for the Communists included Virginia Woolf’s nephew, Julian Bell, who was killed, and Eric Blair, later known as George Orwell.  He was in the front line for 112 days before being wounded.  He later wrote “1984” a propaganda coup for the World Order which claimed no one would be able to withstand their power.  He concluded “1984” with the observation that the future would be marked by a jackboot being stamped into the human face forever.

Journalists to a man rallied to the Communist cause.  A.M. Rosenthal, executive editor of the New York Times, said of his brother-in-law, George Watt, Commissar of the Lincoln Battalion, “God, how I admired that man.  He was my hero.”  Herbert L. Matthews wrote in 1946, “Nothing so wonderful will ever happen to me again as those two and a half years 1 spent in Spain.  There I learned that men could be brothers.  Today, wherever in this world I meet a man or woman who fought for Spanish liberty I meet a kindred soul.  Nothing will ever break that bond.  We left our hearts there.”  Despite his despair, Matthews was able to relive the glory of Spanish years when he promoted Castro and a band of six guerillas into the dictatorship of Cuba, through a frenetic propaganda barrage in the New York Times.

Kim Philby, later active with the OSS and CIA as British Liaison also was prominent in the Spanish Civil War.  Son of the famed Arabist, Sir Harold Philby, he joined the Cambridge Socialist Society in 1929.  He worked for the British Treasury 1932-33 and was recruited by the communist party.  In 1934, in Vienna, he married Litzi Friedmann, a communist agent.  Witness at the marriage was Teddy Kollek, later a fundraiser for the Israeli terrorists, now Mayor of Tel Aviv.

Working as a Soviet mole, Philby was financed by the Schroder Bank in 1934 to publish a pro-Hitler magazine for the Anglo-German Fellowship.  The Times then sent him to Spain to cover the Civil War.  He took as his mistress the divorced wife of Sir Anthony Lindsay-Hogg, Frances Doble, a Falangist sympathizer whose Salamanca palace became his Spanish headquarters.  The daughter of a Canadian banker, Doble lavishly entertained the Falangist leaders.  Philby frequently met General Franco there.

Philby was recruited for the British SIS in 1940.  In 1942, he helped Norman Holmes Pearson, a Yale professor who specialized in the work of Ezra Pound, to set up the London office of OSS with Charles Hambro chief of SOE.  In 1949, Philby was sent to Washington as SIS liaison officer with the CIA and FBI.  J. Edgar Hoover frequently lunched at Harvey’s Restaurant with Philby and James Angleton of the CIA.  While CIA station chief in Rome, Angleton worked closely with the Zionist terrorists Teddy Kollek and Jacob Meridor, and later became chief of the Israeli desk at the CIA, helping Philby to set up the lavishly funded international Mossad espionage operation, all paid for by American taxpayers.  A senior CIA security official, C. Edward Petty, later reported that Angleton might be a Soviet penetration agent or mole, but President Gerald Ford suppressed the report.

Top secret files of the CIA and FBI were opened to Philby, despite widespread claims that he was a Soviet agent.  Although he helped Burgess and MacLean defect to Russia in 1951, he continued to work for SIS until 1956, under the protection of Harold MacMillan, who defended him publicly in parliamentary debate.  In 1962 and Englishwoman at a party in Israel said, “As usual Kim is doing what his Russian Control tells him.  I know that he always worked for the Reds.”  Miles Copeland says that Philby placed a mole in deep cover in the CIA known as “Mother”.  Philby was quoted as saying, “Foreign agencies spying on the U.S. Government know exactly what one person in the CIA wants them to know, no more and no less.”  Philby was finally exposed by a defector, Michael Goleniewski.  On Jan. 23, 1963, Philby left Beirut and defected to Moscow, where he became a Lt. Gen. in the KGB.  On June 10, 1984, Tad Szulc wrote in the Washington Post that Philby was never a Soviet agent, according to CIA memoranda introduced in a lawsuit, but that he was a triple agent.  This explains curious paradoxes in the supposed rivalry between the CIA and the KGB, when certain charmed souls float easily back and forth between the two services.  Agents of either service are “eliminated” when they find out more than is good for them about this odd arrangement.

“Intrepid’s Last Case” states that “For 38 years there was an official NKVD mission in London whose agents were assisted by both British Special Operations and the American OSS.  Only now is it clear that Moscow had received hundreds of top secret OSS research studies;  and that the British had supplied guerilla warfare expertise to the chief of the NKVD’s subversive operations, Col. A.P. Ossikov !”

In 1993, Donovan was sent on a special mission to Moscow, to establish a permanent alliance between the OSS and the NKVD.  Donovan, W. Averill Harriman, and Lt. Gen. Fitin and Maj. Gen A.P. Ossikov of the NKVD worked out a plan to establish offices of the NKVD in key American cities.  On Feb. 10, 1944, J. Edgar Hoover sent a confidential message to Harry Hopkins, “I have just learned from a confidential source that a liaison arrangement has been perfected between the OSS and the NKVD whereby officers will be exchanged between the services;  the NKVD will set up an office in Washington.”  Hopkins was forced to contact Atty. Gen. Biddle to alert the Dept. of justice to this operation;  because of the coming election, Roosevelt prudently withdrew his support for the plan.

Because of their co-operation with the NKVD and the prominent Communists in OSS, General Douglas MacArthur refused to allow any OSS agent in his theater of operations in the Pacific.  Donovan went to MacArthur’s headquarters on April 2, 1944 and made a personal appeal to him, but was rebuffed.  MacArthur considered the OSS agents more dangerous to American Security than any military opponents.  In Donovan’s Washington headquarters, Estelle Frankfurter was caught stealing confidential OSS reports.  She was discharged, although her brother, justice Felix Frankfurter, was Roosevelt’s closest confidante.  As organizer of the Harold Ware cell, Frankfurter had placed Soviet operatives in many Government agencies, and had put his personal protege, Alger Hiss, in FDR’s office.  Frankfurter’s brother, Otto, served a sentence in Anamosa State Prison, Iowa for Fraud.

While Joseph E. Davies was Ambassador to Moscow, the State Dept. in 1937-38 was ordered to destroy all of its irreplaceable files on the Soviet Union.  The Russian Division of the State Dept. was abolished, and the last anti-communist survivors were summarily fired.

Since 1935, seven Soviet networks of espionage had been active throughout Europe.  Known by their German name, die Rote Kapelle, the Red Orchestra, they were run by Grand Chief Leopold Trepper, who later emigrated to Israel.  In January, 1942, Allen Dulles enlisted die Rote Kapelle to form an anti-German group led by Baron Wolfgang von Pultitz, who later arranged for the defection to East Germany of Otto John, head of West Germany’s FBI.  During World War II, both von Pultitz and John had worked under Charles Hambro at Britain’s SOA.

General Alfred E. Wedemeyer later testified that in 1942 he had proposed a guaranteed plan to shorten the war by at least a year, invading France across the Channel.  Winston Churchill argued for his “soft Underbelly” approach through North Africa and Sicily.  Gen. Marshall called Wedemeyer before Churchill and Roosevelt to explain his plan, on which he had worked for months, perfecting every detail.  Churchill persuaded Roosevelt to postpone the Wedemeyer plan for another year, while the Churchill plan was put into action in North Africa in Nov. 1942.  Wedemeyer’s plan was vindicated in 1946 by Gen. Franz Halder, Chief of Staff of the German Army, who said the Wedemeyer cross-Channel invasion would have been a decisive and timely blow which would have shortened the war by at least a year.  However, ending the war in 1943 would have cost the munitions manufacturers many billions in profits.  Ezra Pound broadcast on July 17, 1943.

“I reckon my last talk was the most courageous I have ever given.  I was playing with fire.  I was openly talking about how the war may be prolonged, by fellows who were scared that the war might stop.  I mean they’re scared right out of their little gray panties, for fear economic equity might set in as soon as guns stop shooting or shortly thereafter.  The stage scenery fell with a flop, simultaneously with some anti-Axis successes.”

What was Pound talking about ?  Stage scenery – what a cynical way to describe a world conflagration in which one hundred million people were dying.  Pound exposed the charade.  Early in the war, a British Secret Service operation, Operation Ultra, had obtained the German coding machine.  They were able to read every secret order from Hitler and the German General Staff.  It was like shooting fish in a barrel.  F.W. Winterbotham, chief of Air Intelligence, SIS, wrote about his operation of Ultra, “The Ultra Secret”.  He says, “On Aug. 2 (1944) which I remember, covered two whole sheets of my Ultra paper, Hitler told Kluge not to pay any attention to the American breakout.  He then outlined his master plan for handling the entire invasion.”

Had Hitler had access to all secret communications of the Allies, he would have had an unbeatable advantage.  The Allies listened to all of his orders, and reacted accordingly.  Early in the war, Ultra informed them that the Germans were planning a massive bombing raid on Coventry.  If they evacuated the city, it would show the Germans they were listening to their plans.  Churchill ordered the British to do nothing.  The Germans bombed Coventry, killing thousands of women and children.  The Ultra secret was protected at the cost of many British lives.

The British also had a double agent, Baron Wilhelm de Ropp, who was Hitler’s personal confidante on British policy.  De Ropp had lived in England since 1910.  He married an English wife, but maintained an apartment on the Kurfurstendamm, as a journalist moving between Germany and England.  His closest friend in England was F.W. Winterbotham, chief of Air Intelligence.  In Feb. 1939, de Ropp took Winterbotham to Germany, where he conferred with Hitler, Rudolf Hess, and von Milch, head of the German Air Force.  Winterbotham writes, “By 1934, I had obtained personal contact with the Head of State, Hitler, and with Alfred Rosenberg, the official Nationalist Party Philosopher and Foreign Affairs expert, and Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy.  From my personal meetings with Hitler I learned about his basic belief that the only hope for an ordered world was that it should be ruled by three superior powers, the British Empire, the Greater Americas, and the new Greater Reich.  I felt that his desperate desire for peace was no bluff.  (At Dunkirk) Hitler told his General Staff exactly what he had told me in 1939;  it was necessary that the great civilization Britain had brought to the world should continue to exist and that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany’s position on the Continent.”

Hitler failed to comprehend the depravity of the behind the scenes figures of the World Order who had gained control of the British Empire with the South Africa wealth they had won in the Boer War.  This hoard of gold and diamonds represented the greatest influx of new purchasing power into Europe since the Spanish galleons brought in the gold of the Incas.  The resistance encountered in this war caused the planners to resolve that in the future, wars would be managed as precisely as any other business operation.  Their philosophy of Hegelian determinism called for setting up two opposing forces, thesis and anti-thesis, which would be thrown against each other in conflict to produce an outcome, synthesis.
